Among all the magnificent showplaces in Preston Hollow, this much-sought-after estate is truly exceptional for its expansive design, its loving detail, and its European flair. Situated on four acres of exquisitely manicured grounds, gardens, and charming walkways, the 12,984-square-foot, tile-roofed Mediterranean-style villa was designed by the legendary Richard Drummond Davis with the highest regard for authenticity and craftsmanship.

That regard is evident immediately upon arriving at the five-bedroom, five-bathroom home—via a secured front gate and bridge leading to the grand entry motor court, of course—guiding your travels to the custom, hand-carved, arched-top mahogany front doors. The first in a long series of statement features, Ssuch detail is a hallmark of the two-story residence—from the entryway's winding staircase, travertine floors, Pecky Cypress ceilings, and custom-made candlelight sconces to the Cut Stone veneer walls, oak hand-scraped oak floors, and multiple carved stone fireplaces found throughout the mansion.

The first floor's magnificent formal dining and living rooms—the latter distinguished by a tall wooden ceiling with hand-painted purlin beams—give way to two spacious adjoining master bedroom suites befitting a queen and her king. Each sports an oversized California closet, five-inch oak flooring, a full bath with heated floor, and—as in all the home's rooms—stunning views of the outdoor verandas and the lush greenery beyond. The first story continues with a family room (its high ceiling is hewn from exposed rustic North Carolina tobacco-barn beams); a study; a secured, temperature-controlled wine room capable of presenting 2,000 bottles; and a state-of-the-art chef's kitchen with refrigerated pantry, Miele appliances, oversized mobile island, and Subzero refrigerators.

Amidst the forward moving culture and the wealth of surrounding subdivisions it is such a rare moment and privilege for the general public and investors to seize an opportunity like this. John McCain speaks of a nostalgic past, a moment in time when the air was fresher and America was
committed to excellence. This regal estate sets over 500 yards from the main road. Massive iron gates open up to a broad driveway enclosed by tall rows of trees providing shade leading up to the large courtyard, cast stone coping and fountain wall. Built in 1987, this iconic home is over 10,000 SF with 5 Bedrooms that includes two master suites,
5.5 baths, an elevator and numerous living spaces on three floors. There is also a separate guest or foreman's home on the property that was constructed in 2000 that is just under 2700 SF. This
historical treasure trove is a remnant of times past with a cornucopia of ‘Georgian High Style' architecture.

The high style is distinguished by the home's roof balustrade, shallow gabled windows, two ­story pilasters, fanlight transom and uncharacteristic brick laid quoins. Let us not forget, the solid columns which pay homage to the classical proportions of Roman ruins and the design principles of Andrea Palladio. Additional features include a large in ground pool, pool house,
numerous barns, shops and outbuildings but likely attractive to the market, especially developers, will be the sprawling 43.5 acres of prime Colleyville land fronting John McCain Road to south and backing to Bear Creek Plantation to the north and all within the sought after Grapevine­-Colleyville
ISD.
